My commute is only 8 minutes and it is quite flat so I don't bother with the cycling shorts. If I want to wear heels that day, I just put them in my bag and I have a pair of cycling keens that I can...

I personally don't think it's too much food/carbs for a 40 mile bike ride, but maybe better used by your body after and during the ride than all just before to help you protect lean muscle mass. Eggs...

Yeah I'm pretty sure she's talking about eliminating 'added sugars', not naturally occurring ones...

I think it's a good way to approach sugar in general. Naturally occurring ones like those in...

I am a big breakfast kind of girl, actually a 2x breakfast type :o , and I must have some protein in there! I will usually have something like sprouted grain bread or oatmeal pancakes + nut butter...

I cannot imagine life without my food processor. :eek:
I use mine at least twice a week for chopping veggies, making hummus, pesto, pancake mix, etc. Need to try nut butters some day too.

R.I.P...

Shootingstar, good to hear that you are back and your trip was good! Can't wait to hear more about it. :) I was in Prague when Germany was playing England and they had it on jumbo screen in the main...

I agree with all of this, except I object to being called a 'clod'. :D

I use my best judgement and will alert someone I am about to pass if the situation warrants it - especially a, b & and...

Mmm! MMM! I love me some tempeh!:)

I also get it in the planks and cut into 1 inch pieces, then cut those in half so the slices are a bit thinner. I use a marinade of olive oil, soy sauce, and...

The last time I was in Prague was close to this time last year, about the first week of April. The weather was great!

I don't think you'll have a problem finding a computer, either at your hotel...

Indeed! As much of a pain as it is to adjust to DST in the mornings, I totally love the extra hour of daylight in the evening - totally worth it.

That does sound very cool! I'm jealous! I have only come into Prague from the German side the direction of Dresden, which is stunning landscape. But I only ever go to Europe for work-related reasons....

I own:

an Orbea Onix Dama (my normal bike for rides)
a Novara hybrid (for commuting, errands that involve it being locked up somewhere outside a building)
Some sort of Cannondale Mountain Bike...

I *love* Prague. :D I didn't find it to be as bicycle friendly as some other European cities...I don't remember any bike lanes and it just didn't seem to me that cycling is as popular in E. Europe...

What? No way, peanut butter is good fat and way healthy (ok, in moderation). :)

But I agree that while nicotine is not a struggle I have, I do have my own as we all have something, maybe nicotine...

I am also a diva cup fan, and I try to get all my girlfriends on the diva bandwagon too! I will admit that it does take some getting used to as far as placing it right at first, but once you have it...

I use the same! For long rides or even just sitting at my desk. ;)

As for eating, I know this is not the subject of the thread, but I've read that at about the 40-45 min is the point at which you...

Wait, huh? What about bones, water, and organs? Not that organs would be functioning any more at 0% bf...

Oh sure, I totally get this. But I live in a mountainous region where like 90% of my rides necessarily involve some sort of climb (unless I want to ride around in circles for several miles - which I...

Interesting. What if your ratio is slightly under? 67 inches at 130? Should I be an even better hill climber or worse?

And while what you say about the 185 lb man makes sense, doesn't the fact...

I have to say that while I couldn't stomach a breakfast like that either, the women I know who are the most cut and have low bf% eat A TON of protein and commonly have big hunks of meat at all meals....

I agree with the others about test riding as many bikes as possible, and take them out for longer than just a spin around the block.

Before I bought my new bike, I, like you, had zeroed in on a...

Yay for the return of cycling weather!

I pulled my Orbea out of the basement last Sunday and she was very happy to not have to hang out with the camping gear and skis any longer. :p

Today...

You're right, I think they call it the EPOC effect or something like this. The shorter, high intensity workouts create a significant 'afterburn', plus are touted to have the added benefit of...

Me too. Well, maybe not that much but close. :)

I visit another health and fitness forum where a lot of the people there are really into weightlifting, and they constantly promote protein protein...

Geez, talk about making assumptions. Of course I didn't arrive at that amount using an online calculator, and of course that wouldn't be smart. I do think it's possible to burn as much as 600 cals in...
